Haslev station opened on 4 October 1870 as the Zealand Railway Company (Danish : Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab) opened the original Zealand South Line, which connected Copenhagen with South Zealand via Roskilde, Køge and Næstved. [3] On 1 January 1880, the railway station was taken over by the Danish state along with the Zealand Railway Company. [4] And on 1 October 1885, it became part of the new national railway company, the Danish State Railways. [5]

When the station opened, it was located c.1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Haslev, then a small village with only a few houses and streets surrounding the Haslev Church, which had only 653 inhabitants. A street named Jernbanegade (Railway Street) was paved to connect the church with the newly built railway station. In the years that followed, the street became the main street of an emerging railway town. In the following years, Haslev grew rapidly, and in 1911 the town had 3,668 inhabitants.

In 1924, the section between Næstved and Ringsted of the Central Zealand railway line was opened. [6] Until then, the railway line via Haslev was a main transport route between Copenhagen and the European continent.

Architecture

Haslev station's original station building from 1870 was built to designs by the Danish architect Charles Abrahams (1838–1893). The station building was originally built in the same style as the stations at Tureby and Lundby, but was expanded several times. It was rebuilt completely between 1945 and 1950 when it acquired its present appearance. [2]

Facilities

Inside the station building there is a combined ticket office and café, ticket machines, waiting room and toilets. The station has a bicycle parking station as well as a car park with approximately 45 parking spaces. [1] Busses run from the station to neighbouring towns, villages and areas.
